Sir Alex's video message in full:

"Hello, just a quick message first of all to thank the medical staff at Macclesfield, Salford Royal, and Alexandra Hospitals.

"Believe me, without those people, who gave me such great care, I would not be sitting here today. So thank you from me and my family. Thank you very much.

"It’s made me feel so humble, as all the messages I’ve had from all over the world wishing me the best and the good wishes do resonate very, very strongly with me. So thank you for that support you’ve given me.

"And lastly, I’ll be back later in the season to watch the team. And in the meantime, all the best to Jose and the players. Thank you very much."
